The vast majority of Argentine Jews are descended from immigrants who arrived from Europe. These ashkenazic Jews migrated from small towns or shtetels of Poland, Lithuania, Russia, Germany, Romania or Ukraine, leaving behind most of their Jewish relatives. After two or three generations, those Jewish families lost track of their relatives, having been saved from the war, emigrated to other countries like USA, England or Australia.

There are jewish families in Argentina with surname AKMAN

In the Jewish cemetery of La Tablada, Buenos Aires, is buried some people with this surname.

I am Turkish and my surname is also Akman. And "akman" is an old turkish word for the attacking unit of the army in old times. There were roughly 1000 Akmans attacking to the opposition army to get inteligence about the location and the numbers of the opposition army. turks these days were living around casbian sea ukraine crimea, kazakstan and so on. I believe jews living around this geographical location might got this surname. The people with the surname akman on your list is mostly from russia and poland. I think this is a good evidence to support my theory. Ak-mak(to) is flow in turkish like a river. I hope it helps. God bless all Akmans:)
